JUDGMENT
Petitioner challenges Ext.P22 order dated 11.11.2024 passed by the respondent bank pursuant to the disciplinary proceedings initiated, imposing a penalty of reduction to a lower grade from OMMGS-III to OMMGS-II with further directions to re- fix the basic pay. Though, the learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the second disciplinary enquiry was also on the same set of charges as the first one which was concluded, the learned counsel appearing for the Bank strongly disputed the same.
Be that as it may, since these questions which require factual adjudication can be agitated before the appellate authority. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file an appeal taking all contentions available to him under law, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to prefer an appeal against Ext.P22 within three weeks from today. On receipt of the appeal the appellate authority shall pass orders in accordance with law, with notice to the petitioner, within four weeks thereafter. Till orders are passed as directed above, the the operation and enforcement of Ext.P22 order will stand stayed.
